Chapter 215 - Pomegranate

At the mention of this, Lu Xiaocha was no longer sleepy. She hugged her mother’s arm and asked her to tell her what fruits could be grown here.

The more she listened, the brighter her eyes became. In the end, she hesitated. “Then do you and Dad like this place very much? If you transfer it to my name…”

Pei Anran smiled and rubbed her head. “Why are you worried about this?”

“Although your father transferred the name of the manor to you, don’t tell me you won’t let us come in the future?”

Lu Xiaocha quickly said, “How is that possible?”

Pei Anran said, “Isn’t that enough? These are all dead things. In your father’s and my hearts, nothing is more important than you.”

Lu Xiaocha felt warm in her heart and buried her head in her mother’s shoulder.

“You guys are so good to me.”

“We’re family. You’re my daughter and your father’s daughter. If I don’t treat you well, who should I treat well?”

They arrived at the manor. After entering, they saw a neat and orderly garden. A relatively retro residence had been built where the hot spring was located. Everything was taken care of in an orderly manner.

The ginkgo tree was really tall. Before they even walked in, they could already see half of the tree.

It was almost autumn, and the dark green fan-shaped leaves on the trees were mixed with some light yellow.

The branches of the ginkgo tree extended far away, and the leaves were layered and dense.

Lu Xiaocha took a few glances and retracted her gaze. She looked at the peach tree and a pomegranate tree in the courtyard.

The few peach trees and the pomegranate tree in the courtyard were well taken care of, and they were already edible with heavy fruit.

Lu Beifeng walked over and plucked a peach.

“Here, it should be edible.”

Some fine hairs on the peach were carefully wiped clean by him.

Pei Anran said, “The peach blossoms planted here are quite beautiful. I didn’t expect the fruits to be good either. There’s an old pomegranate tree over there. Your father specially hired a fruit farmer to take good care of it. There are quite a lot of pomegranates every year. Little Feng, Little Chen, go pick a few and eat them later. We’ll pick more when we leave.”

Lu Beifeng’s movements were nimble and handsome as he climbed up the tree. He looked like a black leopard. Even something as simple as climbing a tree had a brave aura.

Lu Beichen went to find a basket to store the pomegranate. This pomegranate tree had been around for countless years and had a lot of fruits. This was even the fruit farmer who had cut off some fruits during the fruit harvest.

Lu Beifeng picked some pomegranates and placed them in the basket.

“Let’s go in.”

Of course, someone was managing this place. There was a butler, two cleaner aunties, and a fruit and flower farmer.

“Sir, the rooms are ready for you.”

Lu Zhan nodded and brought his wife and children to the manor.

The mountain was cool, and the clean wooden floor would not have any dust even if one stepped on it with only socks.

Teacups and snacks were already prepared in the tea room.

“Xiaocha, try these flower cakes. The osmanthus flowers in the mountains are blooming now. The osmanthus cakes are also very sweet. And these fried rose petals are crispy and delicious with the faint fragrance of roses.”

Lu Xiaocha was already tempted by the introduction.

These pastries looked very good. She couldn’t wait to taste a piece of osmanthus cake.

Lu Zhan said, “There’s a lot of food on the mountain. If you like it, you can come often.”

Lu Xiaocha nodded as she ate, not forgetting to let everyone eat together.

After having tea and snacks, the family went to the hot spring.

Of course, Lu Xiaocha was with her mother. Lu Zhan was with his sons.

“The hot spring egg is delicious. Try it later.”

The mother and daughter were in bathing suits and wrapped in bath towels as they peeled pomegranates to eat.

This pomegranate was huge. After breaking open the outer skin, every pomegranate flesh inside was plump and red.

It was crystal clear like rubies. Just looking at it was extremely beautiful.

“This pomegranate is delicious, right?”

Lu Xiaocha took off the pomegranate flesh seriously and placed it in her mouth. Her exquisite and beautiful face was filled with satisfaction.

“Delicious!”

Pei Anran said to her, “Your father even raised some sika deer in the mountains. There are also many wild fruits in the mountains. After soaking in the hot spring, let’s go around the mountains.”

Lu Xiaocha nodded. “Is the hot spring egg ready?”

“I don’t know. Let me see.”

They ate while soaking in the hot spring. These days were simply too relaxing and comfortable.

They could not soak in the hot spring for too long, or they would feel dizzy.

After eating and soaking in the hot spring, Lu Xiaocha changed into clothes that were convenient for moving around. She found some bags and brought her two brothers into the mountains.

Then, Lu Beifeng witnessed his sister’s miraculous luck. She could always find something edible in the mountains.

“Is that a deer over there?”

Standing on the tree, Lu Xiaocha discovered the deer herd and pointed in the direction to ask her brothers.

Lu Beifeng glanced at it. “I think so. I wonder how many more small deer have appeared this year.”

“Come down quickly. Be careful not to fall.”

Lu Xiaocha climbed up the tree to look for the pine tower. It was lucky that she was so agile.

“Let’s go find a deer. Can I eat this deer?”

Lu Beifeng said, “Of course, these can be eaten, but not the deer in the wild.”

Lu Xiaocha nodded to show that she understood. She was hungry.

Lu Beifeng smiled. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you hunting.”

They followed the direction where they had found the deer. They did not catch it but fell down a hidden cliff.

At first, Lu Beichen lost his balance and fell. Lu Beifeng grabbed him and rolled down with him.

Lu Xiaocha said, “Brother, Brother?!”

She called out twice, but there was no response. She jumped down without hesitation.

There were leaves and bushes there. If he had not fallen in, they would not have seen the pit!
